8INXP ATA DRIVE problem HELP!!
Please could someone help with a major problem I'm having at the moment.
I dual boot my PC with Bootmagic to two different versions of XP. I built the PC from new and had no problems setting this up. I have recently decided to have a fresh install on both sides, but have run into a problem. Everytime I install the Inf setup, Application Accelerator and ATA 133 drivers, it moves the disc numbers around. I use the RAID/ATA133 as ATA133 for extra drives. But after the drivers are installed the two AT133 drives on this becomes DRIVES 0 and 1. My original C drive on the IDE bus becomes 2. This never used to do this, and the problem is that boot magic looks at disc 1. How can I reassign the drive numbers. In the system/hardware the two ATA133 drives are listed on a SCSI controller (which is how it always was) and the other IDE drive as normal. I even trying removing the partitions and having a single drive but it still does it. The drive is fine up untill I need to install the ATA drivers (the drives are hidden until then). I.m installing exactly the same ways with the same drivers as I did before?????????? Any Suggestions Gigabyte 8INXP P4 3.06 2G ram 40 Gig HD on IDE 1 DVD on IDE 2 80 Gig HD on ATA 1 40 Gig on ATA 2 Cheers |
